Description
SEM of capillaries from inside the renal corpuscle; the three round objects are glomeruli. The regulation of the body's water and electrolyte balance and the production of kidney hormones (prostaglandin, renin, erythropoietin, vitamin D3, kinin) takes place in the kidney. The fine vessels inside the renal corpuscle are responsible for the separation of the ureas (waste products of the metabolism) from the blood. To make this resin cast of the finest blood vessels visible, all surrounding tissue was removed.Scanning electron micrograph, magnification 500x (at 15x12 cm image size).
